After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 406 - 404 Are You Sure?
Chapter 406: Chapter 404 Are You Sure?
Lu Zhaozhao’s small hand clenched and turned to look at Song Sinian beside her. Her eyes were full of "what should I do".
Song Sinian couldn’t help but chuckle. He raised his hand and rubbed Lu Zhaozhao’s little head, "It’s all up to what you like."
The moment he spoke, the members of the Xia Family instantly became tense.
Lu Zhaozhao might be easy to deceive, but that did not mean Song Sinian was.
As they were worried that Song Sinian would expose them, they heard him slowly start to speak, "It’s just a share transfer document, their usual work remains the same, only a signature is needed, and essentially, nothing else changes."
Lu Zhaozhao furrowed her brows slightly and muttered softly, "How could there be no changes?"
The share transfer document, once it’s registered in her name, meant that she would be the actual power behind the XJ Group. She’d become a truly wealthy individual.
How could things remain the same?
Seeing her frowning face, Song Sinian couldn’t help but reach out and caress it, "Now, Avril has her eye on your brothers. If you don’t sign, she will soon find out everything that’s just happened; it was only a trick in front of her. Later..."
"I’ll sign, I’ll sign right now," said Lu Zhaozhao. As she spoke, she picked up the pen on the table and began to sign her name, but not without adding, "I’m only accepting this temporarily. Once Avril’s matter is resolved, it must be changed back."
"Alright, alright, you decide."
Nearly everyone in the room looked at Lu Zhaozhao with an indulgent gaze.
Aside from her, almost everyone understood that once signed, the contract would not be changed.
While XJ Group indeed was property of the Xia Family, it was not that important to the four Xia brothers.
They were each influential in their own domains.
Even if the entire XJ Group went to Lu Zhaozhao, it didn’t matter.
After all, she was their sister; of course, they should spoil her themselves.
The winter afternoon sun was still warm.
But inside the hospital room, Xiao Jinglan felt utterly cold.
Lu Zhaozhao had been discharged, and she hadn’t known.
She had originally planned to use Zhaozhao’s hospitalization to boost her visibility with Old Master Song. She hadn’t expected Zhaozhao to be discharged so soon.
What frustrated her more was that she was now the one in the hospital.
With this, Xiao Jinglan couldn’t help but press her temples in headache. She was initially here to investigate the assault on Feng Jiaye and Tao Li.
She hadn’t expected to become a victim herself.
"Now that Zhaozhao has been discharged, how am I supposed to maintain visibility in front of Old Master Song?" Xiao Jinglan glanced at Xiao Mo sitting beside her, growing even more irritable.
Xiao Mo glanced at her, "If there’s no chance now, we’ll just have to wait for another opportunity. You should focus on recovering now. As for the person who assaulted you, I will investigate it."
He had initially come to the hospital to visit Lu Zhaozhao, only to be told upon arriving at the ward that Lu Zhaozhao had already been discharged.
He had then decided to visit Xiao Jinglan’s ward, only to find that Xiao Jinglan was also unaware, which was indeed useless.
He was right under his nose, yet she knew nothing.
Xiao Jinglan sighed weakly, "I’ll leave it to you then."
She and Hao Li had reported to the police immediately after being assaulted, but there had been no investigation results.
There were no surveillance cameras where they were attacked. The hospital was chaotic with a mix of different people. They had reviewed the footage from the hospital lobby and hallways, but had failed to find any trace of the perpetrator.
So this matter could only be handled by Xiao Mo.
"You should get some good rest during this time," Xiao Mo said as he got up to leave the hospital room, but was suddenly stopped by Xiao Jinglan.
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Jinglan gestured for Xiao Mo to come closer with a hook of her hand.
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows, puzzled, "Is there something else?"
Although his expression didn’t change much, his tone carried a hint of impatience.
He had originally come here to see Lu Zhaozhao. Last time, he had been humiliated by Song Sinian in front of Lu Zhaozhao and wanted to use this opportunity to regain some face, but to his surprise, Lu Zhaozhao had already been discharged.
Not only had he not seen her, but he also had to deal with Xiao Jinglan’s mess. How could his mood be any good?
Xiao Jinglan certainly noticed Xiao Mo’s irritation, so she lowered her voice, "On the day I was beaten, Hao Li provoked me, saying she knew my secret..."
"What?" As soon as Xiao Mo heard the word "secret," his eyebrows immediately knotted.
He and Xiao Jinglan indeed had many secrets unknown to others, but Hao Li had only been in Shangjing for a short while—what could she know?
Xiao Mo’s eyes narrowed, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Jinglan nodded repeatedly, "I know what kind of person Hao Li is. If she hadn’t gotten hold of any solid evidence, she wouldn’t dare to boast in front of me. I suspect she might really know something, but I’m not sure what it is exactly..."
She spoke with little confidence, even appearing somewhat guilty.
She recalled that last time Xia Wenjin said he knew their secret, and it turned out that Song Keren exposed herself.
Fortunately, Xia Wenjin was now in the same boat as them, so there was some room for maneuver.
But Hao Li and Feng Jiaye were not.
She was a bit worried that what they knew might have a detrimental impact on Xiao Jinglan and her secrets.
Xiao Mo’s expression darkened, "I understand. Don’t worry about this matter for now."
Things were chaotic enough already; he didn’t want to add more complications.
He realized that any matter left to Xiao Jinglan recently would turn problematic.
So this was definitely not an issue to be left to her anymore.
He pondered for a moment and instructed, "As long as Hao Li doesn’t bring it up again, just pretend you don’t know anything. At least until I have thoroughly investigated, you must not reveal any clue in front of her, understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Jinglan wanted to say something else, but seeing Xiao Mo’s icy gaze, she chose to keep silent, helplessly watching as Xiao Mo left the hospital room.
He had initially planned to leave the hospital directly, but remembering Xiao Jinglan’s words, Xiao Mo felt his heart pounding.
After much hesitation, he decided to head toward the hospital room of Feng Jiaye and Hao Li.
Although Xiao Jinglan had also been injured with Hao Li, she disliked Hao Li immensely, so she had intentionally arranged for the hospital rooms to be on opposite sides, one on the east and the other on the west.
This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about Hao Li coming to bother her.
As Xiao Mo made his way there, he thought about how to probe Hao Li and the others, but just as he reached the door to the hospital room, he heard Feng Jiaye’s uncontrollable anger.
"How many times have I told you, just keep an eye on Xiao Jinglan and that’s it, why don’t you ever listen?"
Hao Li hung her head in hurt, unable to understand why Feng Jiaye had been raging about this matter in recent days.
She had simply talked about how bravely she caught the person who attacked them that day, yet her son had flared up again and she had no clue why...
